Biden free college a reality?

Military service is definitely not for everyone. I have nothing against the people who do go that route but people in the military are not treated well. Not while in service, not afterward either.

Not everyone is in a position to be willing or able to lose 4-6 years of their life either.

If you served: great. Thank you for your service. But just as not everyone likes chocolate ice cream or can even eat chocolate ice cream, trying to make everyone go into military service just doesn't work.

Wow, this one is a first, I agree is not for everyone. But I have seen many older generations gain lots of advantage especially career wise because of a military background. They are not lost years as they gain in experience. I guess younger generations can't handle it and think food is bad, as opposed to what? a student daily regimen of instant ramen? Maybe it is true it is not for everyone but I wouldn't shoot it down just because of personal dislike. Let's be objective and recommend the positives. Those who sign up either are tough enough for it or not. I never said it was a walk in the park but it has its advantages. But I would not consider military service lost years, and if so compared to what?   

I have older relatives who went into the service for various reasons. They don't like to talk about their time in the service and they regretted joining at all. They weren't joining for "noble" causes like WWII. They were joining to serve their country during peacetime and because someone like you told them that the benefits could be sweet. Spoiler alert: the benefits aren't sweet and they were pretty traumatized by their experiences. They are the main reasons why I didn't even try to join when I was young enough to do so.
